Second Meeting of The Lancet Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Commission

 描述(申请人提供)：10-24岁的年轻人在全球卫生政策和国际发展中的地位比以往任何时候都更加突出。他们占世界人口的30%，是历史上人数最多的一代人。成功的过渡 通过青春期到成年的社会角色为未来成年人的健康奠定了基础。这些问题在2012年的《柳叶刀》青少年健康丛书中进行了总结，其中强调了全球公共卫生应对措施的主要局限性。青少年是否提供人口红利或成为迷失的一代，取决于我们对他们健康发展的投资。重要的是缺乏对技术和研究基础设施的投资，以支持政策。在青少年健康方面推进这些政策倡议存在重大障碍。对青少年的投资最多。《柳叶刀》青少年健康和福祉委员会成立于2013年，目的是审查青少年健康知识及其对政策和规划的影响。它是由墨尔本大学、哥伦比亚大学、伦敦大学学院和伦敦卫生与热带医学院四所顶尖大学的领导建立的学术合作伙伴关系。他们组建了一个由来自14个国家的26名专家组成的委员会。这些专家代表了重新构建对青少年健康的理解所需的各种学术学科。在全球范围内促进青少年和青壮年的健康和福祉，以确定对以下方面的需求。 该委员会的首要目标是综合目前关于卫生未来投资的知识。委员会正按计划在2015年10月之前完成一份报告，预计2016年春季将在《柳叶刀》上发表。这项修订后的会议支助提案要求为2016年5月在伦敦举行的《柳叶刀》委员会报告的初步学术发布提供支持。如果要对青少年健康进行成功的投资，就迫切需要协调和加快对全球青少年健康的研究投资，同时提供适当的技术和研究支持，这将在报告中概述。这项投资的性质将是学术发布会的主要讨论焦点。鉴于其对青少年和青年健康的广泛关注，该委员会的报告将对国家卫生研究院多个研究所的工作具有重要意义。这项提议的具体目标是：具体目标1：在2016年于伦敦举行的学术发布会上提交《柳叶刀》青少年健康和福祉委员会的最终报告。具体目标2：在学术活动启动后召开一次规划会议，讨论设立“活的”柳叶刀青少年健康和福祉委员会，以继续开展该委员会报告的工作。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Young people aged 10-24 years have a greater prominence in global health policy and international development than ever before. They constitute 30% of the world's population, the largest generation in history. Successful transitions through puberty to adult social roles set a foundation for future adult health. These issues were summarized in the 2012 The Lancet's Series on Adolescent Health, which highlighted key limitations in the global public health response. Whether adolescents provide a demographic dividend or become a lost generation depends on investments we make in their healthy development. Important has been lack of investment in technical and research infrastructure to support policy. There are substantial barriers to taking forward these policy initiatives in adolescent health. The most investments in adolescents. The Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing was established in 2013 to review adolescent health knowledge and its implications for policy and programming. It was established as an academic partnership with leadership from four leading Universities: University of Melbourne, Columbia University, University College London, and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. They assembled a Commission of 26 experts from 14 countries. These experts represent the diverse range of academic disciplines needed to reframe understanding of adolescent health. And wellbeing of adolescents and young adults in the global context with a view to identifying needs for. The overarching goal of the Commission is to produce a synthesis of current knowledge on the health future investment. The Commission is on schedule to finalize a report by October 2015, with an expected spring 2016 publication in The Lancet. This revised conference support proposal is requesting support for the primary academic launch of The Lancet Commission report in London in May 2016. If there is to be successful investments in adolescent health, there is urgent need to coordinate and accelerate research investment in global adolescent health, accompanied by appropriate technical and research support as will be outlined in the report. The nature of this investment would be a major focus of discussion for the academic launch. Given its broad focus on adolescent and young adult health, the Commission report will have importance to the work of multiple institutes at the NIH. The specific aims for this proposal are: Specific Aim 1: To present the final report of The Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing at an academic launch in London in 2016. Specific Aim 2: To convene a planning meeting following the academic launch to discuss the establishment of a "Living" Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing to continue the work of the Commission's report.
